- Porcelain vase, c.1840 (?). Donated by F.G.Dalgety 1862. NGV 445-D2: see photo at right. This vase is described in the NGV’s online catalogue as made in Staffordshire, c.1840. However, in the gallery’s unpublished list of pre-Felton acquisitions (no.179, under 1862), it is listed as “Old Leeds ware,” which may point to its origins in the famous pottery founded at Hunslet, near Leeds, in 1756 (but essentially moribund by 1881): see now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeds_Pottery (with references). The lustrous surface appears to have been typical of both Leeds and Staffordshire pottery during the period.
